The
Lancashire Amateur Football League (more commonly known as the LAL) was founded
in 1899 and consists of approx. 40 Clubs who run in the order of 140 teams.

These
Clubs are situated throughout the old boundaries of Lancashire & Cheshire;
stretching from Preston in the North, Southport in the West, Rochdale and
Oldham in the East and Lymm in the South.

The
League has an excellent reputation for fair play and sportsmanship and its
Premier League has "feeder league status" within the FA Pyramid
scheme for Referees.

The
Leagues centenary was celebrated in style in March 1999 at a Centenary Dinner
held at Blackpool attended by over 350 guests including the FA Chairman Geoff
Thompson.

Although
the players are Amateurs, a hard working and enthusiastic Executive Committee
and League Council who are elected by Clubs in membership of the League, run
the League in a professional manner.

New
applications to the League are welcomed from suitable candidates.

Although
Clubs running a minimum of 2 teams are preferred, the League will consider
applications for Clubs running 1 team provided they match the Leagues standards
expected for Discipline, Ground & Facilities, Fair Play and standards of
Organisation/Administration.

The
League has a strict policy of monitoring the discipline record of players
(using a points system) and players whose conduct has not been considered
acceptable are subject to their registration being withdrawn.

About this
site.

This
site was started in January 2000 and was created by Philip Robinson, son of the
League Treasurer Alan Robinson, who has continued with its development since.

From
the very beginning it was intended to be functional rather than flashy, in
order to promote and allow wider viewing of information regarding the League.

Thus
no fancy graphics here!

It
is hoped to develop the site further and any contributions or suggestions are
welcomed either by e-mailing Alan, or by using our guestbook.

Please
feel free to use or download our fixtures, results, and League tables.
